Before I post anything about me, I wanted to give you guys an idea of what an angel Atlanta Pat has on his side. His wife, Patti, was an incredible blessing to me...every day! If I had made a blueprint of the kind of angel I needed to have with me at CCF, it would be Patti! It is hard to describe the kind of person she is. Very open, very personable, so down-to-earth, compassionate. She was a God send, without a doubt. She always showed up when I needed her the most! I really miss her.
I am keeping them both held tightly in my thoughts and prayers.
Ok, wow, about me. I'm a +1 too so it is great to already have that issue answered for me with your alls posts to Patti. Shew!
All I can say is that I am just glad it is over. Goodness, I had no idea the mountain you guys were talking about rivals Mt. Everest. More details will follow. Good news though. I was very sluggish, breathless in Cleveland (maybe a possible movie plot), found it very hard to walk two feet. Going to the bathroom was an ordeal. My young roommate was running circles around me. As soon as I got in the my car , the love and energy of my family infiltrated my heart and soul, and poof, the old CCF Debbi had left the building and in came the new. I mainly sat up during the ride. I talked and cried happy tears all the way home. The five hour trip was more like 7 hours cause of the stops and walks, but it felt like maybe a two hour drive. The inability to walk much at CCF must have been pyschological in some way, cause I have been walking all over my house. My daughters are amazed. They had been anticipating somewhat of an invalid. The last pain med I had was yesterday morning and it was only an ibuprofen. I don't understand it but I will accept it
....no pain at all. You know what my biggest problem is??? I had an allergic reaction to all the surgical tape so I look like I have a nasty case of posion ivy all my chest and stomach. Not bad, not bad at all.
I finally dozed off at 5 am today. Maybe happy to be home excitement, but I doubt it...more like post-op ohs sleep issues, oh well, one day at a time.
Ok, friends and family, details will follow about surgery, etc. Right now I have worn myself out.
I am blessed and so very thankful for it. Keep Pat/Patti in your thoughts today. I know you will anyway.
